Gear Nest
Keep your camp essentials safe and easily accessible with our modular dual-pocket Gear Nest. Perfect for keeping your glasses, phone, and other small items organized. Drop in your headlamp to turn it into an overhead lantern.
The triangular shape preserves your headroom when sitting up on either side of the nest.
To install the Gear Nest, simply attach the adjustable hooks to the loops at the interior of our tent peaks and tighten.
All Zpacks 2 and 3 person tents should already have compatible loops at the peaks.
If your tent does not have loops on the interior, our Stick on Loops work great on shelters made with DCF or other, similar, materials.
Dimensions:
Pocket: 17" wide x 8"deep (43 cm x 20 cm)
Cord Length (end to end): 62" (157 cm) - Fits all Zpacks 2 and 3 person tents.
Gear Nest Add-Ons
Bear Bagging Kit
I wanted a food bag that was more flexible than a rigid bear canister that I could hang confidently and that would hold up to the elements. Hangs well, stores in backpack well, holds up well in weather and is just plain wonderful.
– Arian M., ★★★★★
Keep your food safe from bears, rodents, and other woodland creatures with our ultralight Bear Bagging Kit. Featuring one of our Food Bags, a Rock Sack and 50ft of 2.0mm Z-Line Slick Cord, our Bear Bagging kit is everything you need to make sure your food is safe while you sleep.
Lightload Towel (3 pack)
Lightload towels are the lightest, and most useful pack towels available. They come packed in a small cylinder, and unfold to about 12.5" x 22.5" (32 x 57 cm). They are super absorbent, and very quick drying. Imagine a name brand paper towel, except that these are cloth, reusable, hand washable, and biodegradable.
Don’t forget your towel!

Zpacks Lotus UL Umbrella
It was great at blocking the sun and flexible in the wind. I used it for hours in a rain storm yesterday and it was so light I barely noticed I was holding it that long. I plan to bring this umbrella everywhere.
– Julie C., ★★★★★
Take cover from brutal sun and intense downpours with our Lotus Ultralight Umbrella. We worked hard to develop the world's lightest backpacking umbrella. Weighing in at just 6.8 ounces it is perfect for beating the heat or helping you stay dry in a storm while still being durable enough to stand up to the abuse of a thru-hike. This umbrella will have your back rain or shine!
Add our Umbrella Holster for hands free use and our Umbrella Stuff Sack for storage.
Sewing Repair Kit
Great item to add to your repair/ditty bag/possibles kit. In a pinch the needle can be converted to a fishing hook. It could also be used for an emergency suture if you don’t have butterfly bandages or superglue to seal a laceration.
– David G., ★★★★★
Be prepared for any mishap and keep your gear in good shape until the end of your thru-hike with this handy sewing repair kit. This kit is perfect for repairing your backpack, clothing, or any other gear items that need a touch up while on trail.
Make sure to order some repair tape for the ultimate field repair kit set up.
Packing Cubes
I think this is a significant improvement on some other companies’ ‘pods’. The cinch strap creates a pod that is both super accessible when the cinch is loose, but that squares off into a nice cube when the cinch is tightened. Great, simple design.
– Zaccharia T., ★★★★★
Whether its a duffle, a suitcase, or a backpack, our packing cubes are designed to fully utilize all available space; maximizing your carrying potential. Made out of lightweight and durable Dyneema® Composite Fabric, these cubes feature a wrap around webbing closure and compression system that ensures that your clothing and gear take up the minimal amount possible.

– Linda M., ★★★★★
Relax after a long day of adventure with our inflatable pillow. Designed for ultralight hikers looking to save weight without compromising comfort, our pillow inflates with only a breath or two and features a comfortable crescent shape perfect for back and side sleepers alike.

Zpacks 1g Tick Remover
Ultralight Travel Toothbrush
Make sure you have fresh clean teeth to lift your spirits without weighing down your pack. This ultralight, compact toothbrush is integrated into a case designed to function as an extension handle and includes a mini toothpaste tube.
The included toothpaste tube holds enough for a week or more if used sparingly. When it runs out, pinch the air out, butt it up tight against a normal toothpaste tube, and squeeze more in to re-fill it. Refills are also available here.
These are not returnable once the packaging is opened, unless there is a defect.
Trailbrush w/ 5g Colgate Toothpaste
The lightest toothbrush on trail. The lighter-than-a-gummy-bear Trailbrush attaches to the hole found on a Toaks titanium long-handle spoon, short-handle spoon, spork, or fork, multi-purposing the handle rather than making you carry another one for your toothbrush.
The Trailbrush weighs less than a US Penny!
*Spoon not included.*
BONUS: Includes a free Tiny 5g Tube of Colgate Toothpaste
Zpacks Ultralight Trowel
